4.0 out of 5 starsIt may not be the ultimate guide to men's style but it is a solid start for most
While the title oversells the content a bit, the book is not to be discounted as a solid guide that will serve you reasonably well in determining how to dress in most situations. The author covers all the basics of colour, fit, cut, style, etc. for everything from white and black tie events, via regular business attire, to business casual and finally casual dress...

3.0 out of 5 starsBasic book
Book looks cheap, and it's cheap print. Pictures are blackish- greyish. So in terms of buying it for a present it's not impressive book - visual.Very basic book with limited pictures. Not much in it. It's a pocket guide.Good as a very first book for guys who have no clue about style.

While the title oversells the content a bit, the book is not to be discounted as a solid guide that will serve you reasonably well in determining how to dress in most situations. The author covers all the basics of colour, fit, cut, style, etc. for everything from white and black tie events, via regular business attire, to business casual and finally casual dress.

There are some basic pointers towards accessories (from watches, to sunglasses, pocket squares, ties, shoes, belts, etc.) on top of the advice on suits, trousers, shirts, and other main components that should be found in every adult's wardrobe.

The author also does not go overboard (in terms of suggested quantities or price ranges), giving solid advice on the absolute basics and then building on from there (both in terms of quantity and quality).

While probably not something for a seasoned businessman / professional, most adolescents would greatly benefit from the advice, as would, frankly speaking, many adults who have worked in less formal environments most of their lives and for whom business attire is somewhat of an enigma.

Finally, the book is relatively quick to read, has solid illustrations caturing the main points the author is making and the writing style is at least as pleasant as the attained look should be (if you follow the advice herein, that is).

Great book detailing what to wear and dress well researched marshall has done a great job, good factual enjoyable read on the kindle. Ive read a few of the other style guides and to date this is the most comprehensive especially when it comes to getting the basics wardrobe sorted.

I was a bit sceptical buying a book like this, but had been recommended it by a friend of mine so I thought I'd give it a go. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the content of this book. True to the description it isn't full of the patronising tosh that you get in some magazines or just trying to get everyone to buy super expensive stuff. I've certainly picked up some decent tips from it and so would recommend it for anyone who is a bit 'style-challenged'!

Really good book. True to the description, it is straight forward and easy to understand. I’d like to think that I can dress myself but this book has some good tips which I wouldn’t have necessarily thought of. It will certainly help me the next time I go shopping for clothes, especially smarter stuff which is where this book’s strength seems to lie. Recommended for anyone, whether or not you think you know your way around style.

Loved this book, having turned 50 I decided it was time to get a new image, took the advice and threw out loads of clothes. I've since bought new clothes as recommended and not only do I feel better about myself, my wife said I look the best ive looked in years. Brilliant advice on casual as well business clothing and written in an easy style.

I bought this for my husband.He was recently promoted at work and now has to dress in a more professional manner. It's not that he had absolutely NO fashion sense, but he definitely needed an overhaul.

I pretty much figured he wouldn't take my word on anything...you know how husbands are. So I decided to see if I could find something he could read for himself.

This book was everything I could have imagined and more! It went over EVERYTHING. Shoes, dress pants, casual pants, etc.It was great because it even went into what is timeless and how to look good no matter what trends are currently going around.

This book doesn't necessarily propose any crazy out there ideas or concept for revamping your wardrobe with a new way to dress, but is a solid appraisal of the basics; unfortunately it's the basics where most of us fall down and so the book is excellent! The format is succinct and gets to the point without wishing to patronise the user, which is refreshing.

I don't often write reviews but just felt it deserved a mention and praise as I was impressed by it a lot and felt that other customers would want to know this.

I have spent the last year or so making quite a few changes in my life, including really hitting the gym. Happily this has led to me losing quite a bit of weight, which meant that my new, better, body was being hidden under layers of old baggy clothes. I had never really taken that much notice of what I wore previously, but with the new found confidence I now have I figured that I should finally give my body the clothes it deserves. To cut a long story short I bought this book to help me get a better idea of what I should wear to look my best. I'm happy to report that it is full of good advice and as a result I'm now looking the best I ever have and I'm sure people are noticing me more than they used to. Good book, recommended for anyone wanting to sharpen up their image
